Pika and Chiko are the newest addition to our shelter family. Although they came in together, we have quickly discovered that they don't get along and will need to go to separate homes. Pika has a beautiful dark coat and enjoys hopping around his cage and rolling around in his sand bath. He is more shy than Chiko, but is still curious about people and can't wait for out-and-about time outside of his cage.

As per most chinchillas, Pika is not a snuggle bug, but prefers to interact with you through exercise and play. Chinchillas require stimulation, a large cage (with supervised time out of cage), and lots of perches to jump around on. Experience with chinchillas would be great, but plenty of research into what care they require would be good too.

If you are interested in Pika please come by the West Vancouver SPCA to meet him!
